Another bull sh1t red card.

Venjur

Wales are doing well out of these cards.

To be honest if the player wasn't lifted it would have been worse so it's not a mitigation.

Still doesn't look as reckless and deliberate as O'Mahony's.

Unwatchable now.

You volunteering to put your head in the way of a flying shoulder? I admire your courage.

Wales are dog**** and will be 2-0

Wales for the grand slam at this rate

Could turn into a bonus point win for wales.

Good to see consistency, tbh. They have to stick with these decisions if they want to change player behaviour.

Not sure the Scots are playing well enough to win with 14, even with how bad Wales are.

The Inbetween is mine

Try..Wales to march on and smash the Scots

For me thats a poor decision. It was a yellow. Mitigation as Hogg crocodile rolled Wyn Jones into a more upright position. Fagerson had committed to the clear out before then. Had Hogg done nothing, Fagerson's clearout would have been fine

That's a red and it's the type of red you want to see awarded to be honest. It's a defenceless players getting hit in the head.

I agree, the player was very stupid to perform an act that got him absolutely justifiably sent off.

Forceful shoulder to head. Clear red.

Probably red, but the Welsh player did move just before contact, but actually his movement probably made it less severe.

Not quite as clear cut as O'Mahony's though, but still red.

Wales are jammy b@st@rds

TMO clearly thought it wasn’t a red though

Consistent at least, but did he actually hit the head? POM was square in the face?

POM was far worse - definite red - today was yellow - Scotland robbed , ref really wanted to give it

This isnt a deliberate hit to the head, it’s a clear out and the Welsh player is moving, and being moved by the other Scottish player clearing out.


What’s wrong with a yellow card???

You think they'd beat England and France?

It's a red but if world rugby want to stamp this out they need to address the breakdown. Too many injuries and needless cards as a result of the current iteration of the laws. Maybe time to have a look at getting rid of the poacher.

If I heard right the TMO was considering mitigating factors but the ref seemed to just dismiss that idea.

DellyBelly

Wales really have turned this around. Looking impressive now

He's was being moved out of the way of the tackle, not into it.

It's a red, not as serious as O'Mahony's which looked much more deliberate but both reds.

Not to go over old ground Venjur and POM’s definitely look mor reckless but I don’t see how you can think it deliberate. He was lining up Tipuric.

I think we’ll see players sacrificing speed of ruck entry for more accuracy, especially from such a distance out.

Wayne Pivac has a guardian angel.

He's probably smashing into the top of his head if Hogg doesn;t and doing more damage.

Absolute rubbish, that was a red all day long... there's no point in people saying they want a safe game for their kids to play and then excusing that rubbish

Sabre0001

So how does the breakdown get fixed? Rolling in earlier game led to serious injury, arriving at pace is resulting in these hits (even if they're trying to stay low)? You can see why teams are relying on kicking ball / keeping it super tight so players don't get isolated.

Will you come off it.

Fagerson had his man in the crosshairs from about a mile out and gave it the full WWE. If Hogg hadn't rolled him up, who would XF have been clearing out then??

Red.
